I'm probably the only person in the world that would spot something like this, but in the latest #DoctorWho, UNIT has switched from the good old #LandRover #Defender to the #INEOS #Grenadier.

If you weren't familiar with the latter, it was created as Sir Jim Ratcliffe was frustrated that Land Rover would stop building the proper Defender (to be replaced by the current Chelsea tractor) so decided to start building a similar vehicle himself.

Lovely #cars, but a pity they aren't EVs!

If you're an offroad content provider, can you comment? Or repost to your timeline? I'd like to create an #offroadstarterpack. Offroad to me means basically anything related to #4x4 #4wd #overland #rockcrawling #adventurebikes #jeep #landcruiser #bronco #landrover (though I need some land rover guys to show up in their tweed dinner jackets, twirl their fancy mustaches, and tell help me see the new defender just isn't a Pilot with a heated steering wheel. That's right. Shots fired.).

Yesterday @peterrenshaw posted a picture of an older model Land Rover that had been used as a ‘bush fire vehicle’. This put me in mind of a small fire-fighting vehicle based on a Land Rover that I saw at last year’s NEC Classic Car Show. It was used as part of the in-house fire precautions of a big publishing company in Aylesbury in the UK in the 1960s and has apparently only done about 4,000 miles.

Today, another last-model Land Rover Defender I saw locally. This one isn’t as rare as yesterday’s Bowler but it’s still one of the less common versions, the high-capacity pick-up on the longer 110 wheelbase. I think this was one of the fruits of the 1980s heavy upgrade programme for what became the Defender - although unlike the optional modern HC load bed, most of the other changes, such as the switch to coil spring suspension, were under the skin.

Saw this one a few weeks ago in my local railway station car park. What looked at first glance like a normal last-generation Defender turned out to be a rare and exotic Bowler. Bowler Motors was founded in the 1980s to produce high-performance competition versions of Land Rover vehicles. It was acquired by Jaguar Land Rover in 2019 but is reported recently to have run into financial difficulties.
